Pretty cool, right? Well, if you have ever wanted this type of technology, it is now readily available. The MYO Telekinetic Armband allows you to do just that.

The Word

The Myo Telekinetic might not lend you as much control as Tony Stark, but it is definitely a step in the right direction. You simply connect the device below your elbow, and let the awesomeness begin. It can be used to control a host of devices that use remote functionality, including computers and televisions. With expected Android and iOS functionality on the way, this device might be the one to watch for 2013.

The Specs

This device makes use of Bluetooth 4.0 low energy to connect with devices and control them. The device senses the electrical impulses in your arm and instantly transfers those signals into control commands, even the movement of your hand.

The MYO Telekinetic Armband has not been officially released yet, but there are prototypes floating around. There will be 25,000 units released in 2014, and preordering is already taking place. The introductory price is only $149. With a price like that, and with possibilities of integrated devices in the future, you can’t go wrong at least trying this device.

Final Thoughts

The MYO Telekinetic Armband opens up a plethora of possibilities in technological remote control. While all the rage is focused on touch-screen devices, Thalmic Labs (makers of the device) are looking to go touchless. This is a big jump and allows for an all new market on devices and software. Most devices are already Bluetooth equipped, and with a little software innovation, this remote control might become the rage of 2014.

http://www.mendaily.com/2013-lamborghini-veneno-images-and-specs/#commentsWed, 29 May 2013 20:51:14 +0000Tyler Chambershttp://www.mendaily.com/?p=7301Lamborghini is a name that it is synonymous with speed, progress, and forward design. One of the original supercar manufacturers, customers and car enthusiasts alike wait restlessly for new releases from companies with reputations like Lamborghini. The Veneno is touted as the car to represent the company’s 50th anniversary, and love or hate the new design, there is no denying that Lamborghini has once again changed the game.

2013 Lamborghini Veneno – Geneva Auto Show- Side View

New Looks for the Second Half of a Century

Entering into the second half of a century of production, Lamborghini was hoping to leave a big mark with Veneno. Even though the new supercar will be very expensive and very limited, there was still much clamor as to whether or not it would live up to its predecessor’s legacies. When it comes to new designs and concepts, it is a hit or miss process for the manufacturers. A totally new, redesigned concept can be accepted with open arms, or, just as easily, rejected and sent to the boneyard in pieces.

2013 Lamborghini Veneno – Geneva Auto Show- Side/Rear View

Exterior

The Veneno is a completely new design for Lamborghini, drawing a little inspiration from its ancestors, however, remaining relatively autonomous. The headlights are large, and stretch vertically down into the bottom of the front fascia. The Veneno’s front has been designed to redirect massive amounts of airflow, and the aerodynamics of the car appear to let it slice through the track like a hot knife in butter. There are also massive air vents on the sides of the car to allow for more cooling than ever before to be redirected wherever it is needed.

2013 Lamborghini Veneno – Geneva Auto Show- Front View

There is extensive use of carbon fiber throughout the shell of the car. The huge rear wing was developed precisely to help with aerodynamics, and the vents down the back of the car give it a “bat mobile” feel. The entire design of the car is extreme, and the looks are aggressive. This car looks as if it could fly once the jets are activated and wings pop out of the sides.

Interior

The cockpit makes use of carbon fiber as well, as is apparent especially in the center console, door jambs, and dash. This two-seater uses the patented Lambo forged-composite seats for weight reduction, and those seats are one of the few design aspects that bring up memories of Lambos from the past. The remainder looks futuristic, yet fairly simple and straightforward. The red and gray design may vary in the production models, depending upon the color (drawn from the three colors of the Italian flag) of the exterior of the car.

2013 Lamborghini Veneno – Interior

Performance and Specs

The 6.5 Liter V-12 is a monster, producing 750 horsepower. Factor in that the Veneno is 250 lbs. lighter than the previous model, the Aventador, and you have a cocktail of power and speed that is tough to rival. The Veneno has a lightening fast 0-60 time of 2.8 seconds, and a top speed of 221 Mph. The Veneno is also all-time all wheel drive, which has been precisely adjusted to fit the needs of all that power.

2013 Lamborghini Veneno – Front View

Final Impression

The Veneno is definitely the result of forward thinking and design, and whether or not you like it, there is no denying that Lamborghini has produced something different. In a world where the lines of creativity are often blurred and car designs can tend to look alike, it’s nice to see some variation. Add in the power and specs of the Veneno, and it becomes apparent that this car is serious business. On the downside, Lamborghini has announced production of only 3 units, priced right under $4 million. Despite this price, all three have been spoken for and production has already begun.

http://www.mendaily.com/5-vegetables-you-need-to-be-eating/#commentsSun, 26 May 2013 20:10:34 +0000David Sautterhttp://www.mendaily.com/?p=7245by David Sautter

Even though they are filled with detoxifying and cancer-fighting nutrients, people still have difficulty consuming the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. If you had a hard time getting the 3 to 5 servings in before, you aren’t going to be thrilled to hear that those numbers have been increased. Whether you lightly cook them or throw them into a blender, your body needs the nutrients that those 6 to 8 servings of vegetables have to offer. Let’s review 5 vegetables that can help you feel and look better. I’ll even throw in some tips on how to mask the flavor if that’s your excuse for not eating them. All of the vegetables mentioned have large amounts of fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamins: A, B6, and K. High levels of a different nutrient are noted.

Several bunches of the super vegetable, Kale

1.) Kale
This is one fascinating vegetable. Aside from the nutrients mentioned above, kale has the ability to absorb several times its weight in toxins. I’d highly recommend throwing it in a blender if you can’t stand the taste of raw kale. It’ll be easier to digest and you can mix it with fruit or protein powder. If you must cook it, do yourself a favor and LIGHTLY steam it. Sautéed garlic and onions can do wonders for vegetables.

2.) Broccoli
The classic hated vegetable. It’s synonymous with the picture of a child sitting at the table with his arms folded over in protest. If only Little Johnny understood the power of broccoli. Aside from being an excellent detoxifying vegetable, broccoli is considered an anti-carcinogen. This means it fights cancer causing free radicals. (Broccoli and Kale should have a Saturday morning super hero cartoon.) Like kale, broccoli should be consumed raw. If you can’t muster up the courage, take the blender or steaming route.

3.) Sweet Potatoes
The orange color of a sweet potato is a tell tale sign of the beta carotene inside. Beta carotene is vital for the health of your eyes. Sweet potatoes are also a complex carbohydrate which means that your blood sugar levels remain consistent after eating it. You don’t have to worry about a “carb crash.” Pass on the sour cream and butter and try cinnamon and apple butter instead.

4.) Spinach
Pop-Eye knew what he was doing when he opened up a can of this stuff a day. Spinach is another super green that has amazing detoxifying properties. Best of all, it has Luetin which is another win for your eyes. This is another one for the blender or your spice rack, if cooked.

5.) Mushrooms
Technically, mushrooms are not a vegetable but they still are worth discussing. There are many types of mushrooms, each with its own distinct flavor. Yet, all of them hold the key to increasing your immune functions. This anti-viral is loaded with antioxidants. That means mushrooms are a must for cold season. Lightly sautéed with garlic and basil might be the best way to go until you work up to eating them raw.

Between the two lists, you now have a number of fruits and vegetables that you can strive to make a daily habit. Try mixing and matching throughout the day. If you are constantly in a rush, a blender is going to be your best friend.

Formerly known as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, the newest version will drop the “8″ in the nomenclature. Despite only being two years old, the Grand Cherokee SRT definitely received some upgrades worth mentioning. If you interested in practicality with a touch of power and speed in an SUV, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is worthy of a look. Read on and tell us if you agree.

Bold New Looks and Features

The marketing team at Chrysler Group had no shortage of options from which to choose when deciding how to sell the new Grand Cherokee SRT. The best way to describe it would be as follows: Luxury meets performance on the road, off-road, and even on the track. Any way you look at it, the Grand Cherokee SRT continues to improve over its product cycle, and the newest model doesn’t disappoint.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Front View

Exterior

The exterior didn’t get a lot of changes from last year’s model; of course, it is now sporting the “SRT” logo in lieu of the “SRT8.” The body maintains the same basic exterior as before, but with small tweaks to make it look more aggressive than ever. The headlights are slightly smaller and the upper grill has been shortened as well. The background of the lights, grills, and other spaces in the front are totally blacked out, and gives the SRT an entirely new look from just a couple of small changes while still maintaining the classic Jeep Grand Cherokee feel.

The taillights of the SRT are larger and outlined in black, giving them a distinctive, mean look. The SRT also features a new rear spoiler and base 20 inch wheels.

Interior

The interior of the Grand Cherokee SRT got a pretty big overhaul, and if you are a fan of technology, you will absolutely love this redesigned cockpit. First, the 8.4″ Uconnect display was added, giving the jeep a world of technological functionality. From this screen, many options can be accessed that are specific only to the SRT line of vehicles, such as recent track times, lateral acceleration and 0-60 mph times. The system is in full color and has a 3G connection for sharing on social media. Users can also stream radio from apps like Pandora, Slacker, and iHeart, as well as perform internet searches and get guided directions. The interior has also been visually redesigned, most notably the new paddle-style shifter.

Performance and Specs

The 2014 model still sports the 6.4 liter, 470 horsepower Hemi V-8 found in last year’s SRT8. The big change is it’s pairing: the old classic 5 speed has been swapped for the new ZF 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission. Now controlled via the redesigned, ergonomically efficient paddle shifter, gear changes can be controlled with much less effort. The new tranny features two shift modes: drive and sport. When coupled with the vehicle’s 5 traction modes, a world tweak-ability becomes apparent. The SRT has been timed at right around 5 seconds from 0-60 mph. Another new feature is “Eco mode,” which alters the shift pattern and reduces the reduces the active cylinders to four when not under heavy strain. The towing capacity has also been upped to 7,200, which is 2,200 more than last year.

Final Impression

If you are looking for technological and practical yet powerful and sleek SUV, the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT may just be for you. The new upgrades add a lot of new features, however the SRT stays true to it’s roots, and with the new 8-speed, overall performance off-road and on-track has been increased. Eco-mode ensures that added performance won’t affect your gas mileage too bad. Overall, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is exactly what we hoped it would be: powerful, balanced, and technologically advanced, the ultimate combination of luxury, comfort, and power.

http://www.mendaily.com/top-10-mixed-martial-arts-fights-of-all-time/#commentsThu, 23 May 2013 22:04:09 +0000Tyler Chambershttp://www.mendaily.com/?p=7181When it comes to dramatic stories leading up to seat-clinching anticipation and in-your-face action, there just about isn’t any sport other than mixed martial arts that delivers consistently. Professional boxing has evolved into a points game, and fans are looking for something to get their blood pumping again. Here is our list of the best MMA fights of all time.

10. Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen

UFC 117 – Oracle Arena, Oakland, CA – 8/07/2010

The hype leading up to this fight is unrivaled by many others. After beating a few tough opponents, Sonnen went to the press, publicly defaming Anderson Silva in just about every way possible. After months of asking for the bout, UFC President Dana White finally agreed and it was set. Silva was the obvious favorite, however, to the surprise of everyone watching, Sonnen came out and dominated the UFC Middleweight champ for 4 rounds, landing 324 strikes to Silva’s 64. In the final round, with less than two minutes left, The Champ made his stunning comeback and caught Sonnen in a triangle/armbar combo submission for a last-minute win.

9. Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva

UFC 79 – Mandalay Bay Events Center, Las Vegas, NV – 12/29/2007

Leading up to this fight in 2007, “The Iceman” and “The Axe Murderer,” respectively, were two of the most revered fighters in the 205 lb. weight class. Both had defended titles, Liddell in the UFC and Silva in Pride, and even though neither held a title when they met, it was still one of the most important moments in the history of the sport. Both fighters let the punches fly without regard to their own well being. In the end, Liddell got the best of the third round, which sealed his decision victory.

8. Josh Barnett vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Two famed heavyweights, one ring, and an absolute clinical performance. That’s what took place back in 2006 during this fight – an absolute clinic of striking, jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and countermeasures to all three. After watching this fight, there is no doubt why, at one point in time, both Barnett and Nogueira held heavyweight titles in the UFC and Pride, respectively.

7. Don Frye vs. Ken Shamrock

Pride 19: Bad Blood – Saitama Super Arena, Saitama Japan – 2/24/2002

These two guys absolutely hated each other. In fact, in the pre-fight ceremonies, Frye threw water in Shamrock’s face, leading to the two nearly coming to blows and wrestling around before being pulled apart. The tension could be felt, and came to life in the fight. Frye beat Shamrock senseless before getting caught in multiple bone-bending leg and ankle submissions, but the end result was a decision in Frye’s favor. This decision is still questioned by many Shamrock fans today. If you take a look at this fight, you will see the difference in the rules of MMA today and those of the sport a decade ago.

Pride 19: Bad Blood – Don Frye vs. Ken Shamrock

6. Matt Hughes vs. BJ Penn II

UFC 63 – Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, CA – 9/23/2006

After BJ Penn shocked the MMA world with his dominant win over the then champion Matt Hughes two years earlier, this rematch was welcomed by many. The anticipation was high and the trash talking soon began. Hughes, however, ensured that this fight went in a much different direction than the last. In an epic battle, Penn could not seem breakthrough Hughes’ defense, and Hughes wound up beating Penn by TKO in a fight remained in his favor for the bulk.

UFC 63: Matt Hughes vs. BJ Penn

5. Fedor Emeliankenko vs. Mirko Filipovic

At the time, Fedor was considered to be the best heavyweight in the world, having beaten just about every other significant heavyweight fighter. The only fighter that stood in his way was Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic. Cro Cop showed his arsenal of deadly head kicks, and Fedor proved that he wasn’t scared of them. The two fighters blasted one another with blows until the final bell, when Emeliankenko was declared winner in a unanimous decision.

4. Royce Gracie vs. Kimo Leopoldo

UFC 3 – Grady Cole Center, Charlotte, NC – 9/09/1994

If you want to travel back to a time in the sport of MMA when the rules were vague and there were no weight classes, this fight is the one with which you should start. The legend, Royce Gracie, established himself by submitting three opponents in less than five minutes on a rampage through an earlier eight-man tournament. Kimo Leopoldo was 240 lb. brawler who was given no credit. However, Leopoldo showed the world that he wasn’t afraid of Gracie, and proved to be just about as much as Gracie could handle. Images of Gracie clinching Leopoldo’s ponytail in order to immobilize his head while punching him in the face are among the most prominent when thinking of this fight. In the end, Gracie’s desire and his opponent’s exhaustion led to an arm bar submission that ended a classic underdog story.

UFC 3: Royce Gracie vs. Kimo Leopoldo

3. Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida

When you talk about 155 lb. fighters, high adrenaline and speed come to mind. There is likely no more high-adrenaline fighter than Clay Guida. Over the years, Guida has been in some absolute battles, and this fight against Diego Sanchez would prove to be one of the most historic battles in the history of the sport. After an all-out first round and into the second, both opponents were streaked with blood. Both had given 150%, yet, the chaos continued. Back and forth the fight went, with an eventual split decision that really could have gone either way.

UFC Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale – Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida

2. Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg II

UFC 52 – MGM Grand, Las Vegas, NV – 4/16/2005

Having been beaten previously, Trigg came into the rematch with something to prove, and it showed. In the first round, an inadvertent strike to the groin by Trigg led to a chain of events that would forever concrete this fight in history. Hughes was waiting on the referee to call the strike, however, he was unaware of what had happened. Trigg pounced and made Hughes pay, eventually ending up behind Hughes with a tight rear naked choke. The Champ, however, persevered and ended up with Trigg in a match-ending rear naked choke of his own.

UFC 52: Matt Hughes vs. Frank Trigg II

1. Forrest Griffin vs. Stephan Bonnar

This fight quickly became the standard against which other fights are judged. Two young, new fighters in the ring, fighting for absolute dominance, and a shot a fulfilling their dreams. This fight sums up the sport of MMA and what it should be about. Both fighters showed tremendous heart, and fought, with blood flying, until the final seconds. Both fighters, in turn, were awarded contacts to fight in the UFC.

On average, golfers lose about 4 golf balls per round, adding around 20 minutes of extra time spent simply searching for their ball. It’s a frustrating aspect of the game, but there’s not much you can do about it, right? Well, that’s not entirely true. A company named Prazza has been manufacturing golf ball finders for years now, and if you want to enjoy your game without having to spend the extra time searching for your ball, then read on.

Prazza Golf Ball Finder

The Word

There are many products that claim to help you find your lost golf balls, however, many of these products just simply don’t work. A quick search in your favorite search engine will reveal that perhaps the most obvious of the these products is “golf ball finder glasses.” While, in theory, maybe “filtering out” some of the colors of the foliage might help you, what if all you had to do was hold a tracking device that would point you to the exact destination of your ball?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxBIo4Gzhf8

The Specs

The technology is ingenious. A ball with an embedded RFID chip and a handheld tracking to allow you to find the ball easily. You simply hit the ball, which transmits a signal to the tracker. You pull out the tracker, and walk straight to your ball every time. Simple, yet innovative. The RFID chip can transmit up to around 100 yards, meaning that once you are within that radius, the tracker will take you straight to your ball.

Prazza Golf Ball Finder

The tracking unit charges via a USB charger, and has plenty of battery assuming you don’t lose your ball after every single swing. The unit works well, however, will not help for balls hit into water or into greenery too thick to traverse.

Final Thoughts

The major issue with this unit is the price. The complete unit costs $300, which seems to go against the fact that is marketed to the “recreational” player. Additional balls cost about $40 (for 3), which can be majorly off-putting for many. When you weigh the benefit vs. the cost, it becomes a total issue of how important it is to you to easily find your ball and how much cash you have to burn doing so. This a very innovative product, however, it is a little expensive for the “recreational golfer,” and not too appealing for the pro. In the end, it’s up to you to decide; or, we could continue to search for our golf balls the old way until newer technology drives the price down where it should be.

Also known as the 10 x 10 System, German Volume Training was made popular in the 1970s. While the true creator of G.V.T. remains unknown, it’s common knowledge that bodybuilder Rolf Feser was the reason for the system’s rise in popularity. For the hard gainers, this system can be a saving grace. When paired with a proper diet, it isn’t uncommon to gain between 10 to 15 pounds of muscle within 4 to 6 weeks. Let’s take a look at the foundation and breakdown of German Volume Training, including common muscle pairings and sample workouts.

On paper, G.V.T. seems pretty simple.

- One exercise per body part
- Ten sets
- Each set contains ten reps
- All sets are done at 60% of your one rep max
- Resting periods between sets: 60 – 90 seconds

You’ll be quick to find upon trying out the system that it is anything but simple. It’s downright brutal. Sure, you’ll be flying high for the first three or four sets, but without fail, your ego will be put in check. When you are completing 100 reps per body part (Go ahead. Do the math.) there’s no reason to get hung up on the fact that you’re only using 60% of the 1RM. If it was good enough for Feser, then it’s good enough for you.

Here are two examples of muscle pairing that you could split your workout into. The first is very common. The second may seem strange but the truth is you’re activating each muscle group twice in one week. If you’re a beginner, I would stick with the 3 day split for at least 4 weeks before trying the 5 day split.

To help cement all of the information above, I’ll provide you with a sample workout based on the 3 day split. Be sure to warm up and stretch before the workout and cool down and stretch following the workout.

There you have it, everything you need to begin packing on a few pounds of lean muscle mass. A few tips to live by:

1.) Rest:
Extremely important. If you’ve never done G.V.T. before, there’s one lesson that you are going to learn quickly: Soreness. The muscle hypertrophy from this workout is unavoidable. As I said above, you’re doing 100 reps per body part. This isn’t your common 3 sets of 10-12 reps of a weight that barely pushes you outside of your comfort zone.

2.) Diet:
You are what you eat. It’s tired and cliche but it’s absolutely true. Chicken breasts and salmon should come before cheeseburgers and pizza. Fruits and vegetables should be eaten raw. (You’re a man. You don’t need mommy to pretend that piece of broccoli is an airplane anymore.) Clean protein supplements need to be in your kitchen. You’re gonna need those internal construction workers called amino acids.

3.) Schedule:
This should be a no-brainer but sometimes we need to be reminded. To get results, you need to stick to the workout. No making excuses about how you walked 2,000 steps today. Great job. Now get in the gym. Be faithful to the workout and it will be faithful to you.

This is the traditional version of the tried and true system. Like most things, yeah, it’s going to get boring. Check out my article “Reinventing German Volume Training” for new ways to make your workout exciting again including super sets, new muscle pairings, and training tips.

With recent concerns of auto-makers shifting toward making vehicles “greener” and more fuel efficient, one would expect a drastic decrease in the seemingly anti-efficient muscle car production race. This isn’t entirely the case, and although the race may have slowed a little, technology is quickly catching up to the industry, allowing powerful muscle cars that aren’t entirely terrible for the environment or your wallet. Enter the Camero Z/28.

Reviving the Iconic Series

Following in the footsteps of Ford, Chevrolet decided to revive the iconic Z/28 series. The Z/28 is now one of many available variations of the Camero, and has its work cut out just to measure up to these models. That being said, the designers and engineers set a list of goals to set the Z/28 apart, including lowering the overall weight while strengthening the chassis, installing transmission and differential coolers, a dry-sump oil system, and bigger brakes. The result is track-oriented beast worthy of the Z/28 moniker.

Front Right View of White 2014 Chevy Camero Z/28 with Black Mags

Exterior

Overall, Chevy’s main goal was to restore the original mission of the Z/28: to ensure that Chevy remains a major player in high performance muscle car production. The exterior has been redesigned specifically for aerodynamics, and integrates advanced cooling techniques and increased stability at high speeds.

Rear Right View of White 2014 Chevy Camero Z/28 with Black Mags

Chevy also shed pounds by making the back glass thinner, and opting for 19″ wheels instead of 20″. They also did away with the fog lights, and just about every other exterior amenity that wasn’t contributing to either aerodynamics or cooling in some way.

Rear View of White 2014 Chevy Camero Z/28 with Black Mags

Interior

Perhaps the biggest interior change is decision to make air conditioning optional, however much weight was also shed in various small ways throughout the interior. The stereo system has scrapped, trunk carpet and sound-deadening removed, as well as the passthrough from the back seat to the trunk.

Final Impression

Overall, Chevy did a good job in the revival of the Z/28. The car is the epitome of what muscle cars used to be, disregarding comfort and looks in lieu of performance and power.

10. Brewery Ommegang Three Philosophers

Brewery Ommegang is a relatively young brewery. However, it has quickly grown over the past decade and their brew “Three Philosophers” is one of their most popular. It’s a dark, sweet brew, with a hint of fruit. Definitely different than your run-of-the-mill big beers.

2. Westvleteren XII

While many claim this is the best beer in the world, many equally claim that the scarcity produces hype, leading to high regards about this beer. However, it is a fantastic brew, very full-flavored with hint of spicy cinnamon and fruit. However, in order to get this beer, you must make an appointment with the Belgium Brewery, and only can only do so once every 60 days. The purchase is limited to one or two cases, per the brewery rules.

1. Alchemist Brewery Heady Topper

Yes, the beer that tops our list is served in a can. Although, get yourself a can of Heady Topper and we guarantee you will agree this brew belongs on this list. The can features and image of hops literally “blowing” out the top of the drinker head, and is a perfect depiction of the feeling when you drink it. With an aroma close to the scent of pine, the hops are nicely overwhelming in this brew. Peachy flavor to follow in an attempt to counter some of the bitterness of the hops. Overall, a great brew.
